The ILO/UNCTAD Project on Leveraging ICTs in Support of Women's Entrepreneurship aims to empower women entrepreneurs through the use of ICTs.

Financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), the Project combines research and analysis, the organization of trainings and workshops, knowledge management and awareness-raising to improve the policy environment for women's entrepreneurship development (WED) and ICTs.

As part of the project, the ILO and UNCTAD partnered to integrate the ICT dimension into the ILO's Methodology Guide for assessing the environment for WED.

The revised Guide is the first version that takes the ICT dimension systematically into account and will be used to assist policymakers and development partners to identify policy recommendations to improve the WED environment, in particular in developing countries.
